Proposal - DeAnna and Alyssa

The other day I met DeAnna and Alyssa at Grant Park for a few couples portraits. They had been together for 3 years and DeAnna had plans to propose to Alyssa during the photo shoot. We made a plan that we would start doing some couples portraits and then a few individual headshots and halfway through DeAnna would bring out the ring. It went quite well and I was so happy to be there to photograph it all! Congratulations DeAnna and Alyssa!

5 month old baby portraits - Lucas

I’m supposed to be in the thick of wedding season right now but, obviously, that’s not the case with the pandemic. So we’ve been making more of a focus on our other big portion of our business which is family photography. Slowly I’m doing more and more sessions as the summer progresses. I can’t say I’m totally used to photographing with a mask on but scuba gear defogging drops helps with my glasses!

Anyways, last year Gladys and John had me come to their home to take portraits of the two of them and their extended family so they could put together an adoption book as they were in the process of adopting a baby. Well, in December their baby was born and they flew out to Texas to adopt him. I’m so happy that I was able to help out with their adoption journey and that they called me back to take some baby portraits of him. It was great to meet Lucas and I hope I get to do more portraits for them in the future!
